General Notes: From Cotton Mather Magnalia Christi Americana, 1702New York: Russell and Russell, 1702, 1967. A reprinting of the 1852 edition.From vol 2, pp. 595-600. RELATION II. -- Mehitabel Goodwin, being a captive among the Indians, had with her a child about five months old; which, through hunger and hardship, (she being unable to nourish it,) often made most grievous ejaculations. Her Indian master told her, that if the child were not quiet he would soon dispose of it; which caused her to use all possible means that his Netop-ship might not be offended; and sometimes carry it from the fire out of his hearing, where she sat up to the waste in snow and frost for several hours until it was lull'd asleep. She thus for several days preserved the life of her babe, until he saw cause to travel with his own cubs farther afield; and then, lest he should be retarded in his travel, he violently snatch'd the babe out of its mother's arms, and before her face knock'd out its brains, and stript it of the few rags it had hitherto enjoy'd, and order'd her the task to go wash the bloody cloaths. Returning from this melancholy task, she found the infant hanging by the neck in a forked bough of a tree. She desired leave to lay it in the earth; but he said, "it was better as it was, for now the wild beasts would not come at it, [I am sure they had been at it!] and she might have the comfort of seeing it again if ever they came that way." The journey now before them was like to be very long, even as far as Canada, where his purpose was to make merchandise of his captive and glad was the captive of such happy tidings. But the desperate length of the way, and want of food, and grief of mind wherewith she now encountred, caused her within a few days to faint under her difficulties. When at length she sat down for some repose, with many prayers and tears unto God for the salvation of her soul, she found herself unable to rise, until she espied her furious executioner coming towards her with fire in his eyes, the devil in his heart, and his hatchet in his hand, ready to bestow a mercy-stroak of death upon her. But then this miserable creature got on her knees, and with weeping, and wailing, and all expressions of agony and entreaty, prevailed on him to spare her life a little, and she did not question but God would enable her to "walk a little faster." The merciless tyrant was prevail'd withal to spare her this time; nevertheless her former weakness quickly returning upon her, he was just going to murder her; but a couple of Indians just at that instant coming in, suddenly called upon him to "hold his hand;" whereat such an horror surprized his guilty soul, that he ran away. But hearing them call his name, he returned, and then permitted these his friends to ransom his prisoner from him. After this, being seated by a river side, they heard several guns go off on the other side, which they concluded was from a party of Albany Indians, who were enemies unto these; whereupon this bold blade would needs go in a canoo to discover what they were. They fired upon him, and shot through him and several of his friends before the discovery could be made unto satisfaction. But some days after this, divers of his friends gathered a party to revenge his death on their supposed enemies;with whom they joyned battel, and fought several hours, until their supposed enemies did really put 'em to the rout. Among the captives which they left in their flight, one was this poor Goodwin, who was overjoyed in seeing `her self thus at liberty; but the joy did not last long, for these Indians were of the same sort with the other, and had been by their own friends thus through a strange mistake set upon. However, this crew proved more favourable to her than the former, and went away silently with their booty, being loth to have any noise made of their foul mistake, and yet, a few days after, such another mistake happened; for meeting with another party of Indians, which they imagined in the English interests, they furiously engaged each other, and many were killed and wounded on either side; but they proved a party of the French Indians, who took this poor Goodwin, and presented her to the French captain, by whom she was carried unto Canada, where she continued five years, and then was brought safe back into New-England.

General Notes: "A Devil to Tempt and a Corrupt Heart to Deceive," John Dane Battles Life's Temptations, ca. 1670s.John Dane, a tailor, was born in Berkhampstead, England, around 1612. In the late 1630s, which he recollects here as a period of "a great coming to New England," he and his family emigrated to Ipswich, Massachusetts. He died in Ipswich in 1684. Dane's parents, like many Puritan parents, raised their children to carry what historian Philip Greven calls an "inner disciplinarian" within their own consciences at all times. Dane's mother reminded him: "Go where you will, God will find you out." In this narrative, Dane, who always remembered her warning, related the temptations he faced over the course of his life\emdash to steal, to accept the advances of women, to avoid church\emdash and the prices he negotiated with an all-seeing God. (The spelling of this selection has been regularized to make it easier to read.)

And [I speak] first of a family providence. In my infancy, and yet I very well remember it, my father removed his habitation from Berkhampstead to Stortford. There he bought a house, and brought his family thither; and he went back again to finish matters with him [whom] he had sold his [house] to, and my mother and her children were at Stortford. Not being among any acquaintances, and my father staying longer than she thought he would, or himself either, my mother met with some wants and was troubled and wept. I doubt not but she laid open her wants to God, for she was a serious woman. And my sister How [Dane's sister, Elizabeth, married James How], she was but a little girl, she went into the yard and sat down in the sun under the window; and laying her hand on the ground to rise up, there lay a shilling under her hand. She brought it in. I, being a little boy, asked her where she found it. She showed me. I went and scrabbled with my fingers in the place and found another. It being in the nick of time in her wants, she took great notice of it, and I doubt not but [she] made good improvement thereof, with great acknowledgment of God's mercy at that time. I shall mention one more [providence] concerning my mother. When she lived in Stortford, one night, in her sleep, she fell into a dream, and [upon] waking she was much taken with it. She told my father, and could not keep it out of her mind. And it was that such a minister (I have forgot his name) should preach [on] such a week and such a day at Elsenham, on such a text. The thoughts of it did so take with her that she inquired; and, as she dreamed, so it was; the same man, the same day, the same text. She and my brother How heard him. I, then being so young, cannot remember every thing; but I doubt not but that she made good improvement of that sermon. Concerning myself; when I was but a little boy, being educated under godly parents, my conscience was very apt to tell me of evils that I should not do. Being now about eight years old, I was given much to play and to run out without my father's consent and against his command. On[c]e [up]on a time, I having gone out [for] most part of the day, when my father saw me come home he took me and basted me. I then kept home and followed my business two or three days. My father and mother commended me, and told me that God would bless me if I obeyed my parents, and what the contrary would issue in. I then thought in my heart, oh, that my father would beat me more when I did amiss. I feared, if he did not, I should not be good. Not long after I, being alone on the shopboard, ripping open a pair of britches of a gentleman who had had a hole in his pocket and sewed [it] up again, through which hole he had had lost or dropped into his knees of his linings a piece of gold, which, when I saw [it], I thought I might have it, for I thought nobody knew of it, nor could know of it. I took the gold and hid it, and sat upon the shopboard to work; but, thinking of it, I thought it is none of mine. I fetched it again, but upon more pondering I went and hid it again. When I had done so I could not be quiet in my mind, but fetched it again, and thought [that] though nobody could know of it, yet God, He knew of it. So I gave it to my father, who gave it to the gentleman. I can't but take notice of God's goodness in then giving me restraining grace to preserve [me] from such a temptation, though then I slightly passed over many such providences. I did think myself in a good condition. I was convinced that I should pray and dared do no other, and read and hear sermons and dared do no other; yet I was given to pastime and to dancing, and that I thought lawful. Now [once] upon a time, when I was grown [to] eighteen years of age or thereabouts, I went to a dancing school to learn to dance. My father, hearing of it, when I came home told me, if I went again he would baste me. I told him if he did he should never baste me again. With that my father took a stick and basted me. I took it patiently and said nothing for a day or [two], but one morning betimes I rose and took two shirts on my back and the best suit I had and a Bible in my pocket, and set the doors open and went to my father's chamber door and said, "good-bye father, good-bye mother." "Why, whither are you going?" "To seek my fortune," I answered. Then said my mother, " go where you will, God he will find you out." This word, the point of it, stuck in my breast; and afterwards God struck it home to its head. Although I thought my father was too strict, I thought Solomon said, "be not holy over much," and David was a man after God's own heart, and he was a dancer: but yet I went [on] my journey, and was [away] from him half a year before he heard where I was. I first settled in Berkhampstead, and there wrought on a shopboard that had been improved that way. On a night when most folks was abed, a maid came into the shopboard and sat with me, and we jested together; but at the last she carried it so, and put herself in such a posture, as that I made as if I had some special occasion abroad and went out; for I feared [that] if I had not, I should have committed folly with her. But I often thought that it was the prayers of my parents that prevailed with God to keep me. I then gave myself much to dancing and staying out and heating myself and lying in haymows, the people being abed where I abode, [with the result] that I lost my color and never recovered it again. I then went and wrought at Hertford, and went to an inn for my lodging. The next day I went and got work in the town. It was near the time of the assizes at Hertford, and my master had many sergeants 'coats to make; and I sat up three nights to work, and then I went to my inn to lodge. The door was locked, and I knocked hard. I heard one of the maids say, "there is one at the door." I heard one say, "'tis no matter, it is none but the tailor." So they opened the door, and the hostess sat in a chair by the fire in her naked shift, holding her breasts open. She said to me, a chair being by her, she holding out her hand [said], "come, let us drink a pot," and several times reiterated her words. I said I was so sleepy that I could not stay with her now, but I would drink a cup with her in the morning; and so I hastened away to my chamber. Here I took no notice of the goodness of God in restraining me, but rather ascribed it to myself; although I had as wretched a nature as I have been since more sensible on than before. Awhile after, there was a cockpit built to fight cocks in, and many knights and lords met there; and there followed to the town many brave lasses. And [once] upon a day, as I remember, there came one from Stortford that I was wonderful glad to see, that I might inquire of my friends there. I invited him to this inn to drink; and there was one of these brave lasses there which dined at the table I dined at, and it is likely that I might [have offered] drink to her and she to me; but this I know, I never touched her. The night after, I came to go to bed and asked for a light. My hostess said, "we are busy, you may go up without [one, for] the moon shines." And so I did. And when I came in the chamber I went to my bedside and pulled off all my clothes and went in, and there was this fine lass in the bed. I slipped on my clothes again and went down and asked my hostess why she would serve me so. "Oh," said she, "there's nobody would hurt you." I told her [that] if I hired a room I would have it to myself, and showed myself much angry. So she gave me a light into another chamber, and there I lay; but, in the morning, I went to that chamber I used to lie in, for I had left a little bundle of things on the bed's tester. I came to the door and gave the door a shove, and this fine mistress reached out her hand out of the bed and opened the door. So I went in. "I doubt, miss, I am troublesome to you." "No," said she, "you are welcome to me." I told her [that] I had left a small trifle on the tester of the bed, and I took it and went my way. For all this and many other of the like, I thank God I never yet knew any but those two wives that God gave me. But when I consider my wretched heart and what I might with shame and blushing speak that way, I cannot but say, oh, wonderful, unspeakable, unsearchable mercies of a God that taketh care of us when we take no care of ourselves. I now being at Hertford, Mr. Goodwin preached there, and he preached concerning prayer. But on Sabbath day, not being in that trim that I would have [liked to have] been in (I had a great band that came over my shoulders that was not clean, and [lacked] some other things that I would have had), I would not go to meeting but walked in the fields close by a meadow side. There was, whether fly, wasp, or hornet I cannot tell, but it struck my finger, and water and blood came out of it and pained me much. I went up to a house and showed it [to the people there], but they knew not what a sting I had at my heart. Now I thought of my mother's words, that God would find me out. I hastened home to the chamber I lay in, at my master's house; and when I came there I took my Bible and looked over some instructions my father had written, and I wept sorely. The pain and swelling increased and swelled up to my shoulder. I prayed earnestly to God that He would pardon my sin and heal my arm. I went to a surgeon and asked him what it was. He said it was the take. I asked him what he meant. He said it was taken by the providence of God. This knocked home on my heart what my mother said, God will find you out. Now I made great promises that if God would hear me this time I would reform. It pleased God in a short time to ease me, and I did reform and stood in awe of God's judgments, though I had a lingering mind after former pastime. I then wrought with Mr. Tead, that lives at Charleston. He was a young man then. He and I were going to a dancing one night and it began to thunder, and I told him I doubted we were not in our way; and he and I went back again. But about a month or six weeks after, I had a mind to visit a friend of a Sabbath day, four miles out of Hertford; but I took a good while pondering whether I might [do so] or not. I knew Mr. Goodwin was a good man, and that the other was naught; but, to quiet my mind, I thought [what] Christ said concerning the Pharisees, they sat in Moses 'chair, hear them. I thought he might preach good matter. And thus I blinded my eyes and went. And when I came there, they were gone to meeting; and I flattered myself, it may be I shall meet them coming home. And so I went into an orchard, and sat down in an arbor; and, as before, on the same finger and on the same place, I was stricken as before. And as it struck my hand, so it struck my heart; for I suddenly rose up and went into a wood; and there I cried bitterly, and now concluded that God, God had found me out. I was now utterly forlorn in my spirit, and knew not what to do, thinking that God now had utterly forsaken me and that he would hear me more. And when I had cried so long that I could cry no longer, I rose up in a forlorn condition and went home to Hertford. I then, in a restless condition, knew not what to do. I was thinking what to do to throw off this trouble; and at this time, awhile after, there was one Master [Scofield], who was a minister and my godfather, that had a son that was bound to Saint Christopher's, and he was at me to go with him. I readily agreed. And when the time was come that we should go, there came news that Saint Christopher's was taken by the Spaniards. [This occurred in October, 1629] Then was I at a sore loss, and considered what I should do. I drew up this conclusion, that I would go and work journey-work through all the counties in England, and so walk as a pilgrim up and down on the earth. But at last I had some thoughts to go first home to my father's house; but I thought he would not entertain me. But I went; and when I came home my father and mother entertained me very lovingly, and all the neighbors. Yet my mind was still troubled, though I had some secret thoughts that God might still do me good. Mr. [Harris] [,] preaching at Stortford on that text, "Am I my brother's keeper?" declared that we ought to be one another's keepers. Upon which I spoke to one that I was acquainted with, [saying] that if he saw me either do or say that that was not meet, that he would tell me of it. At that time when I heard any[one] read a chapter that there was any of the promises in, my tears would run down my cheeks. I saw a young man coming in the street, and I feared that he would call me out. I left the shopboard and went into a backhouse, and prayed to God to keep me that I might not be overcome. After a while that I had abode with my father, Mr. Norton, coming to my father's, wished him to put me [out] to Mr. Barenton's. That was a very religious family as ever I came in. And I went thither and was butler; there I kept company with the choicest Christians. I went to hear Mr. Farecloth, three or four miles [away] I have forgot[ten] the town's name. The words of Mr. Farecloth's text were these: "Ye that were aliens and strangers from the commonwealth of Israel hath he reconciled to himself." In this sermon he did so set forth the love of Christ, his readiness and willingness to entertain poor sinners, as that I believe there were very few dry eyes in the meeting house, nor without doors [outdoors] [,] for many could not come in. It was great encouragement to me. Soon after this I married, and went and dwelt at a place called Woodrow, in Hatfield. Soon after I had the palsy taking me, which did much weaken my brain and spoil my memory. And just it was with God that it should be so, for I cannot but acknowledge of what God had then bestowed on me. I went to a physician, and he told me that it was too late to do me any good. I was so [sick] as that I could scarce go to bed or from bed without help. And my mother having been servant to the Lady Denny, she speaking of it to the Lady, she told her of a medicine, that had cured an old woman of three score years old. My mother, diligently attending to the method of the business, came to me and applied the same to me, and it cured me; though I have the marks of it on my face to this day. Then I lived on Woodrow Green, on Hatfield forest. No sooner one trouble was at an end, but another ensued. There was one Muschen [who] lived under the same roof that I lived in, only he lived at one end and I at the other. There were farmers 'and yeomen's sons [who] met there; and I was among them, thinking no harm. But they were contriving to have a merry meeting at that Muschen's house, and invited me to be one of them. And being among them, they would contrive their business with me, and told me that they would have four bushels of barley out of a barn (the owner of which, one of these was his son); and this Muschen was to turn it into malt, and brew it, and drink it there. I dared not cross them, [for] they were such blustering lads; but I was in a sad tune, and knew not what to do. But I went to my brother How's father and advised with him. He was a very honest man, and he told me I should by no means be among them when they did act that business, but [that I should] make some journey some way or other, and he would do the business for me. So I did. And he acquainted the woman of the house, a prudent woman. And at the time appointed they went to the barn. The woman, having had foreknowledge of it, stood after supper at her hall window listening, the barn not being far distant from the house; and she heard a noise at the barn, and sent suddenly to the barn and took them with four bushels of barley, carried out of the barn in a sack. The thing being discovered, the men were in a bad toss, but they suspected me; and the yeoman's son came flattering to me, to know if I did not tell of it; and [he] said it is well that it was found out, but needs he would know if I did not tell some of the family. I told him I had not spoke[n] with any of the family since we were together. Many words passed, but nothing did appear, but suspicion. But one of the company (as afterwards I was informed, and I myself suspected him and escaped his hands) came with a sword to my shop to kill me. This was no sooner over but [there] comes a new trouble. I then wen to live in the chief place in Hatfield town, and took an apprentice and kept a journeyman. And the tailors were so disgusted at it that they made [complaints] earnestly to the old Lady Barenton, Sir Francis Barenton's widow, and to Mr. Sir Thomas Barenton, to get me out of the town; for said they, he takes up all our work, and we know not how to live. This was so eagerly prosecuted as that Mr. Robert Barenton told me that he would give me his ears, if he did not send me out of town. And after [being] three times sent for before Sir Thomas Barenton, by warrant, and pleaded against, (and [they] could not prevail), they summoned me to the quarter sessions; but god of his goodness stood by me, and afterwards I found great friendship from those that was my professed adversaries. When these storms were a little over, there was a great coming to New England; and I thought that the temptations there were too great for me. I then bent myself to come to New England, thinking that I should be more free here than there from temptations; but I find here a devil to tempt, and a corrupt heart to deceive. But to return to the way and manner of my coming. When I was much bent to come I went to Stortford to my father to tell him. My brother How was there then. My father and mother showed themselves unwilling. I sat close by a table where there lay a Bible. I hastily took up the Bible, and told my father if where I opened the Bible there I met with anything either to encourage or discourage that should settle me. I opening of it, not knowing no more than the child in the womb, the first I cast my eyes on was: "Come out from among them, touch no unclean thing, and I will be your God and you shall be my people." My father and mother never more opposed me, but furthered me in the thing, and hastened after me as soon as they could. My first coming was to Roxbury. There I took a piece of ground to plant of a friend. And I went to plant; and having kept long in the ship, [and] the weather being hot, I spent myself and was very weary and thirsty. I came by a spring in Roxbury street, and went to it, and drank, and drank again and again many times; and I never drank wine in my life that more refreshed me, nor was [anything] more pleasant to me in my life, as then I absolutely thought. But Mr. Norton being at Ipswich, I had a mind to live under him. And one time I came to Ipswich alone when there was no path but what the Indians had made; sometimes I was in it, sometimes out of it, but God directed my way. By the way I met in one place with forty or fifty Indians, all of a row. The foremost of them had a long staff that he held on his forehead like a unicorn's horn. Many of them were powwows; and as I passed by them I said, "what cheer." They all, with a loud voice, laughing, cried out, "what cheer, what cheer," [so] that they made the woods ring with the noise. After I parted with them about a mile, I met with two Indians, one of them a very lusty sannup. I had a packet under my arm, and he took hold of it and peeked into it. I snatched it away, with an angry countenance, and he made no more of it. So I came to Ipswich, and agreed with Goodman Metcalf's vessel to bring me from Boston, where I had brought my goods. I brought a year's provision with me, but I soon parted with it. My meal I parted with for Indian [corn] the next year. I thought if one had it, another should not want. There came a neighbor to me and said he had no corn. He made great complaints. I told him I had one bushel and I had no more, but he should have half of it. And he had; and after[ward] I heard of certain [people] that at the same time he had a bushel in his house. It troubled me to see his dealings and the dealings of other men. Many troubles I passed through, and I found in my heart that I could not serve God as I should. What they were, were too tedious to mention. But [once] upon a time, walking with my gun on my shoulder charged, in the mile brook path, beyond Deacon Goodhewe's, I had several thoughts [which] came flocking into my mind that I had better make away [with] myself than to live longer. I walked discoursing with such thoughts [for] the best part of an hour, as I judged it. At length I thought [that] I ought of two evils to choose the least; and that it was a greater evil to live and to sin against God than to kill myself, with many other satanical thoughts. I cock[ed] my gun, and set it on the ground, and put the muzzle under my throat, and took up my foot to let it off. And then there came many things into my head; one [was] that I should not do evil that good might come of it. And at that time I no more scrupled to kill myself than to go home to my own house. Though this place is now a road, then it was a place that was not much walked in. I was then much lost in my spirit, and, as I remember, the next day Mr. Rogers preached, expressing himself that those were blessed that feared God and hoped in His mercy. I thought that I feared God and hoped in his mercy. Then I thought that that blessedness might belong to me, and it much supported my spirit. [Once] upon a time we were in some present want in the family, and my wife told me she had nothing for the children. She desired me to take my gun and see if I could get nothing. And I did go; and I had one pig then that was highly esteemed on, and that followed me a great way into the marshes. I thought the providence of God seemed to tell me that I should not go out today. So I returned back again with my pig; and when I came within less than forty rods of my house a company of great gray geese came over me, and I shot and brought down a gallant goose in the very nick of time. In [sixteen] sixty-one, my house was burnt, as near as I can remember; and it was a most violent fire. At that time I could not but take notice of several providences concurring with [it]. I do not know that I did murmur at it, but was silent looking up to God to sanctify it to me. It pleased God to stir up the hearts of my loving friends to help me to the carrying on of another. I had been ill before, and [was] not well fitting to go abroad, and could not endure wet on my feet. When the carts went into the woods, I went with them, and many times in the swamps [I] broke in up to the knees, in cold water, in the winter. And it pleased God [that] I grew better than before, which I looked on as a special hand of God. A second providence was this: that, though my provisions were all burnt, I had a stock of fine swine, and the corn that was burnt, when the flowers fell down and the fire [was] out, these swine fell to eating the burnt corne, and fatted to admiration, and that in a small time, so that I had good pork for the workmen to carry on the work. Thus God hath all along preserved and kept me all my days. Although I have many times lost His special presence, yet he hath returned to me in mercy again. Once in England at Mr. Barenton's house in Christmas time, the company in the hall was showing tricks in the night, and Mrs. Barenton came and stood by. I being there, I took notice that my mistress changed her countenance, and the tears ran down her cheeks and she turned away. I presently thought that her thoughts were better improved than mine. It put me upon a serious meditation of the joys of heaven and of the vanities of this world. It took such an impression of my heart as that, though it was a time of jollity, I could scarce hear music nor see wantonness, that I was able to show my face without shedding of tears. The like impression had my thoughts brought to me upon a question in our private meetings, upon a question of that text; God's love constrains us to love him that has loved us first. Beating my thoughts on God's infinite love took such an impression of my heart as that I thought I could do anything for God or suffer anything for God. Oh, loving relations, have a care of quenching such notions of God's spirit, lest you bring sorrow and affliction onto your heads and hearts, as many others have done, to their great grief and sorrow; and I can speak it, to the grief of my soul, by woeful experience.Source: John Dane, "A Declaration of Remarkable Providences in the Course of My Life," The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 8 (April, 1854), pp. 149\endash 156.

General Notes: http://www.dover.lib.nh.us/DoverHistory/cocheco.htm

The leader of the colonists at Cochecho was Richard Walderne (Waldron), an Englishman who had emigrated in 1635. In 1642, Walderne owned a large tract of land at the Lower Falls of the Cochecho River where he built a sawmill. That spot became the foundation of the settlement know n as Cochecho.By 1666 a total of 41 families lived and worked here. In dians became a familiar sight around town when Walderne opened a large trading post.There were occasional problems with the Indians. Walder ne was not above breaking laws which forbade selling liquor or firearms to Indians.

In 1676, many Indians fled Massachusetts due to bloody fighting between a confederation of Indian tribes and English settlers. By September, over 400 Indians were at the the Cochecho settlement. Half of them were strangers, the other half were Wonalancet's people. Two companies of Massachusetts soldiers arrived to recapture the escaping Indians. They were ready to battle the Indians but Major Walderne intervened.

Walderne agreed that the Massachusetts Indians should be returned to Boston for punishment, but he did not want local, loyal Indians to be harmed in the process. The major suggested a "sham battle". The Indians were invited to assemble close to town for a day of war games. The unsuspecting Indians were surrounded by four militia companies which separated out the local Indians. Over 200 of the Massachusetts Indians were taken back to Boston. Some of them were hanged .

Tensions mounted between the settlers and the Penacook Indians over the next eleven years. The peaceful Chief Wonalancet was replaced by the warlike Kancamagus who bitterly resented the injustices meted out by English settlers to his people. Indians had no right to travel in the woods east of the Merrimack without written permission from Major Walderne. More and more land was seized from the Indians for paltry payments like a "peck of corn annually for each family".

The settlers at Cochecho became frightened by the large number of hostile Indians now living with the local tribe. The settlers took refuge at the blockhouse each night, and during the day, guns were kept close to hand in the fields. Major Walderne scoffed at the fears of his neighbors, boasting he could raise a militia by lifting up his finger. Loyal Indians also tried to warn Walderne of the impending massacre.

Governor Bradford dispatched a letter to Walderne on June 27, 1689 stating "Some Indians...report that there is a gathering of Indians in or about Penacook with the designe of mischief to the English...they have a particular designe against yourselfe and Mr. Peter Coffin which the Council thought it necessary ...to give you notice that you take care of your own Safeguard, they intending to endeavor to betray you on a pretention of Trade". The letter arrived one day too late.

On the evening of June 27, 1689 several Indian women asked to shelter at each of the garrison houses, a common practice in peacetime. They were shown how to open the doors and gates in case they wanted to leave in the night. No watch was kept as all the Cochecho families retired for the night. During the early hours, Indian women quietly opened the gates to several hundred Penacooks.

The Indians rushed into Major Walderne's garrison. He attempted to defend himself with a sword but was quickly overpowered and tied to a chair. The furious Penacooks each slashed the 74 year old man across the chest with his own sword, crying out " I cross out my account!" They hacked off his nose and ears then thrust them into his mouth. Finally, they forced him to fall upon his sword. Even in death, the Indians were not done with vengeance: they cut off the hand that had cheated them by holding down down the scales during trading. The final act of revenge was to burn the house to the ground, and murder or take captive the rest of Walderne's family.

General Notes: He was an educated man and wrote the "court hand" beautifully. In 1640, he was a warden of the church of England at Portsmouth. He was selectman, town clerk, 1656-1660, treasurer and commissioner. In 1644, Governor Bellingham appointed him Judge at Portsmouth "to end small causes," and in 1651 the General Court of Massachusetts appointed him Associate Judge at "Strawberry Bank." In 1660, he served as Deputy to the General Court at Boston. He was a large landholder by purchase and many town grants.

980. William Wentworth was born about 1615 in Alford, Lincolnshire, England and died on Mar 16, 1697 in Dover, New Hampshire about age 82.

General Notes: National Cyclopedia of American Biography: He was a parishioner and a dmirer of Rev. John Wheelwright with whom he emigrated in 1636 to Bos ton and in 1638 to Exeter, New Hampshire where he was one of the thirt y-five signers of "a combination for a government," on August 4, 1639 . At a rising of the Indians in 1689 he saved Heard's garrison by pus hing out the savages who had entered and holding the door till the oth er settlers came to the rescue. At a great age, he took a second wif e of tender years remarking that "women are scarce."

In the Sixteenth Century the surname of Howland is found extensively in Essex, at Newport and Wicken and their immediate vicinity. At later periods Howlands have been found in other counties such as Hertfordshire, Surrey and Berkshire, but these have invariably traced to Newport and Wickens, Essex--several families of the name are living there contemporaneously. John Howland of the Mayflower is born in 1592, the son of Henry Howland and Margaret__________, and grew up in Fenstanton, Hu ntingdonshire. He had at least four brothers: Arthur, George, Henry and Humphrey. His brothers Arthur and Henry arrived at New England abou t 1623/4 and later joined the Society of Friends. Early records list that Arthur, he lived in Marshfield, is fined many times for "pmitting of a Quaker's meeting in his house." When he refused to pay the fines, he is sent to prison. At the Court of March 1658, Henry is fined for entertaining Quakers. During the voyage of the Mayflower across the Atlantic, John Howland is almost drowned during a violent storm, when a huge wave swept him overboard. He managed to grasp a halyard which is trailing astern of the ship, and is rescued. On 11th November 1620, he is the thirteenth signer of the Mayflower Compact. On 6th December, he is one of the ten men chosen to make the third exploration along the shore in the shallop.

John HOWLAND arrived as an "indentured manservant" to Deacon John Carver. In those days, a servant is a person bound to a certain master for a definite term, as distinct from a person who worked for wages. John Carver and wife, Katherine, are among the fifty Pilgrims that died the first few months of the struggle for survival in Plymouth Colony. On 25th March 1623 (then New Year's day), John Howland married Elizabeth Tilley at Plymouth Colony, daughter of John Tilley and Joan (Hurst) Rogers. She is baptized at Henlow, Bedfordshire on 30th August 1607, later arrived to New England with her parents on the Mayflower . She died at the Swansea home of her daughter, Lydia Browne, on 21/31 December 1687, aged 80.

"The 23th of February 1672/3 Mr. John Howland senir of the Town of Plymouth (part now Rocky Nook, Kingston) Deceased; hee was a Godly man and a ancient professor in the ways of Christ hee lived untill he attain ed above eighty years in the world, hee was one of the first Comers in to this land and proved a usefull Instrument of Good in his place & was the last man that was left of those that Came over in the shipp Called the May Flower, that lived in Plymouth hee was with honor intered att the Towne of Plymouth on the 25th of February 1672."

He moved back to B arnstable in 1673 because of infirmity and age. In the Old State House , Boston, now a museum, a tile is displayed from Pastor Mayo's house. See "History of Andover, N.H., 17551-1906." At the time of his death h e resided at Yarmouth with his daughter Elizabeth. His son, Nathaniel , b. ca. 1627, married Hannah Prence, dau. of Gov. Thomas Prence and w ife Patience Brewster (dau. of Elder William Brewster). This tribute w as shared by an Internet correspondent, 1/97: He was born while Elizab eth I was Queen, and a boy during the reign of James I, he went to Mag delen College, Oxford University, in 1615, but did not graduate. He we d and had all his children in Northamptonshire. He was a Protestant minister in a time when the harrassed clery were obliged to disguise the mselves and to use assumed names. The whole family came to the Colonie s in 1638. "on March 3, 1639/40, in New Plymouth, at a General Court, Wm. Bradford, Governor, Thomas Prence, Miles Standish.... assistants M r. John Mayo of Barnstable, Mass., and Job Cole admitted Freemen in th is court and Sworn," (the term Freemen connotes men of peaceable conve rsation, orthodox in the fundamentals of religion). He was a "pious an d learned minister." He was steady, reasonable and patient. He served the congregation at Nausett (Eastham) as a "teaching elder" and moved there from Barnstable in 1646. In 1654, they moved again, to Boston, s o that he could become the first pastor of the Second Church of Boston , "transplanted from the smallest town on Cape Cod to the largest in t he Bay, the 'Metropolis of America'. Was he not quite a person? He was, humanly speaking, one who has done the impossible!" He was an overseer at Harvard College, and he attended the graduation of the son of a fellow overseer, Increase Mather, who became Pastor after John. He wa s paid 65 Lbs. as his salary. He resigned his pastorate April 15, 1672 /73, after 33 years in the pulpit. The North Church pensioned him, not because he was needy, but for all the good he had done. He was a sin cere 17th century religionist. He was a resourceful man whose mentalit y was far above average. He helped to found two towns and three church es. He "never lost a friend except by death." "I have always supposed that Mayo was quite a person. I dare say he has not had his justice fr om the historians, quiet people who mind their own business seldom do. " Mariah Lawson (3506A Fairmont Blvd., Knoxville, TN 37917) shared 2/9 7 without proof that John is son of the Rev. John Mayo, Sr., b. 1565 i n West Orchard, Shaftsbury, England, died by 17 Feb 1635 in Cattistock , England and buried at Cattistock (wife perhaps Elizabeth ___). See " Builders of the Bay Colony," by Samuel E. Morrison; "Description of Ne w England", John Eliot (May, 1650); "History of Boston," by Snow; "His tory of the Second Church" (1852)[formed 1649 and led by a layman unti l John Mayo was installed 9 Nov 1655; 27 Mar 1664 the church ordained as associate pastor Increase Mather, father of Cotton Mather, because John Mayo's "voice was so enfeebled by age that his parishioners coul d scarcely hear his messages."]He was married to Thomasine.

In 1646, he removed t o Eastham and subsequently took charge of the church in that town, whe re he continued until 1655, when he was settled over the second, or No rth, church in Boston. In 1673, in consequence of advanced age and inf irmities, he went again to Barnstable, and there and at Eastham and Ya rmouth passed the remainder of his life with his children, dying at th e latter place in May 1676. He was a man of prominence as a minister, and in 1658 preached the annual election sermon. His wife was named Ta mosin, or Tamsin; she died in Yarmouth in 1682. His children were all born in England and were: Hannah, Samuel, John, Nathaniel and Elizabet h.

(Co pied from The Pioneers of Massachusetts by Charles Henry Pope, 1900, P age 308-309) Rev. John Mayo was born in England, probably about 1590 t o 1600, as he was a very old man when he died in May 1676. He was educ ated in England, and matriculated at Magdalen Hall Oxford. Nothing ye t known of his life in England, but he lived there the major portion o f his life, was married there, and all of his children were born there . In 1638, he came to New England, and settled in Barnstable, and was in Barnstable in 1639, where he was ordained teaching Elder in connect ion with Rev. John Lothrop. The date of his ordination is given as Apr il 15, 1620. He was admitted as a Freeman by the court of Plymouth, an d sworn March 3rd in the 13th year of his Majesty's Reign, 1640. He, a nd his sons, Samuel and Nathaniel, were, in 1643, listed of Barnstable , and being able to bear arms. In 1646, he removed to Nausett (Eastham ), and was pastor of the church there until 1654, when "being discoura ged" he removed to Boston, and became, November 9, 1655, the first pas tor of the "old North Church" (Second church). (Note - this church wa s torn down by British soldiers for firewood during the Revolution, an d is not, of course, the present Old North Church. Paul Revere was a m ember of the older one.) In 1658, Rev. John Mayo preached the annual s ermon before the Ancient and Honorable Arterillery Company, and also i n June of that year preached the election sermon before the General Co urt. While living in Boston, he owned a house and lot on Middle Stree t (now Hanover Street), selling it for 200 pounds in 1673 to Abraham G ording. A church record in the hand-writing of Rev. Increase Mather sa ys, In the beginning of the year 1670, Mr. Mayo, the pastor, grew ver y infirm. On the 15th of April he removed his person, and his goods al so from Boston to reside with his daughter in Barnstable, where since he hath lived a private life not being able, through infirmities of ag e, to do the works of the ministry. It was in the year 1673 however, t hat with his own consent, he was retired for age, and was succeeded i n the pulpit of "old North Church" by Rev. Increase Mather. (Note - In crease Mather, 1639-1723, was a Puritan pastor in Boston from 1664 to 1723. His son, Cotton, 1663-1728, was a clergyman and writer. He assis ted his father and succeeded him as pastor. His religious writings ha d wide influence. He is remembered for his part in the Salem witch tri als of 1692.) After his retirement from the ministry, John removed to Yarmouth, where he resided with his daughter, Elizabeth, wife of Josep h Howes, until his death in May 1676. He married, date and place not k nown, Tamison. That she was not his first wife may be inferred by refe rence to the settlement of his estate where she makes oath to the inve ntory on June 2, 1767 "excepting only the good and estate which she ha d before their inter-marriage, which she had not claimed right nor pow er to depose of, but only to use while they lived together as she affi rmeth."

Thomasine was the daughter of William Lumpkin and Thomasen. Thomasine died June 16, 1709, at 82 years of age. Her body was interred in Brewster, Barns table County, Massachusetts, Old Brewster Cemetery. "Samuel Mayo d. ea rly in 1664, being a mariner. In August 1643, he was one of those betw een 16 and 60 in Barnstable able to bear arms. His wife joined the Bar nstable church Jan 20, 1649-50. He removed later to Boston, where his estate was settled, his inventory being taken April 25 and his father being appointed administrator April 26, 1664, his widow declining to a ct. She m. 2d, Mr. John Sunderland of Boston, who later was a citizen of Eastham. June 7, 1648, he had a suit of trespass on the case agains t John Williams, Sr., for ?40 damage. Not appearing, he was non-suite d and ordered to pay the charges of the court. June 4, 1650, he was pr opounded to take up his freedom. June 5, 1650, he and Mr. Thomas Howe s were appointed administrators of Samuel Hallett, deceased. Oct 2, 16 52, Samuel Mayo was one of the witnesses to a deed at Barnstable, and Jan 29, 1657-58, he also witnessed a writing. In 1653 Peter Wright, Sa muel Mayo and William Leveridge bought of Assiapum alias Moheness, an Indian sachem, the land now the village of Oyster Bay on Long Island. The three grantees by endorsement on the deed gave to seven other pers ons equal rights with themselves in the land purchased. William Leveri dge had been the first pastor of the church in Sandwich, Mass., and em ployed Samuel Mayo, who owned the vessel named Desire, to transport hi s goods to Oyster Bay. This vessel was captured by one Thomas Baxter i n Hempstead Harbor under pretense of authority from Rhode Island, but Mayo recovered a judgement against Baxter because of the capture. May o was at Oyster Bay for some time, but did not settle there, and the s tatement that he died at that place in 1670 is erroneous. If a Samuel Mayo died there at that time, it may have been the son of the grantee.iv. Nathaniel Mayo was born in England about 1627.

In the 6th of the same reign, upon some difference between his lordship and William le Zouch, of Haryngworth, another great baron, which was heard before the king, Lord Grey, under the Irritation of the moment, drew his knife upon Lord Zouch in the royal presence, whereupon both lords were committed to prison; but the Lord Zouch was soon afterwards released, while Lord Grey was remanded, and his lands seized upon by the crown. He was, however, within a short time, upon making submission, restored to favour: and in three years afterwards we find his lordship in Scotland upon the king's service, being of the retinue with Henry, Earl of Lancaster. From this period, for several years, he was engaged In the French wars, and in the 20th of Edward's reign, he obtained license to fortify his homes at Botherueld Grey, Oxford, and Sculcotes, York, with embattled walls of lime and stone. The next year there being a tournament held at Eltham, in Kent, amongst other accoutrements prepared for that military exercise, his lordship had a hood of white cloth, embroidered with dancing men, in blue habits, buttoned before with large pearls, presented to him by the king. In the 26th Edwaed III., he was one of the commissioners in the cos. Oxford and Berks, for arraying and arming all men of ability within those shires, and leading them against the king's enemies, invasion being at that time threatened by the French. In the next year he was steward of the king's household, and had summons to parliament from the 1st to the 29th Edwaed III. inclusive.

21st Generation

2038558. Piers De Gaveston454 was born about 1284 and died on Jun 19, 1312 about age 28.

General Notes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piers_GavestonPiers Gaveston, 1st Earl of Cornwall (c. 1284 - 19 June 1312) was thefavourite, and possibly lover, of King Edward II of England.

A Gascon by birth, Piers was the son of Sir Arnaud de Gabaston, a sold ier in service to King Edward I of England. Arnaud had been used as a hostage by Edward twice; on the second occasion, Arnaud escaped captiv ity, and fled to England with his son. Both then entered the royal hou sehold, where Gaveston behaved so well and so virtuously that the Kin g declared him an example for his own son, Prince Edward, to follow, m aking him a companion of Prince Edward in 1300. Prince Edward was deli ghted with Gaveston, who was noted for his wit, rudeness, and entertai ning manner, and gave him many honours and gifts. The Prince also decl ared that he loved Gaveston 'like a brother.' Gaveston was also a clos e friend of Roger Mortimer of Wigmore, Gaveston being awarded the ward ship of Mortimer's property after the death of Roger's father - this w as a great honour for Gaveston, since the wardship of such an estate w ould normally be awarded to a nobleman, and is thus an indication of t he regard both the King and his son held for Gaveston.

Gaveston and Edward IWhilst King Edward I liked Gaveston, he strongly disapproved of the cl ose relationship between the knight and the Prince, which was felt to be inappropriate due to Gaveston's rank. He became especially enraged with Gaveston when he, along with twenty-one other knights (including Sir Roger Mortimer), deserted the English army in Scotland after the 1 306 campaign and went to a tournament in France. Furious, the King dec lared the estates of all the deserters forfeit, issued orders for the m to be arrested, and declared them traitors. Gaveston and his compani ons therefore asked Prince Edward to intercede with the King on their behalf; the Prince accordingly enlisted the support of his stepmother , Queen Margaret, who pleaded with the King to forgive the young men. Most, including Mortimer, were forgiven in January of 1307 and returne d their estates. Gaveston, however, remained disfavoured: the King ha d learned that Piers and the Prince were sworn brothers-in-arms, who h ad promised to fight together, protect each other, and share all of th eir possessions. To the King, this was unthinkable: not only was it mo nstrous for a future King to be shackled by oath to a commoner, unabl e to be adequately secure against potential plots; but the oath threat ened to share the government of England itself with Gaveston, and tha t was simply intolerable. His displeasure with Gaveston and the young man's friendship with Prince Edward only continued to increase.[1].

The Prince, determined to maintain his oath and companionship with Gav eston, next resolved to ennoble the other man by granting him the Coun ty of Ponthieu (one of Prince Edward's own Counties). He sent an extre mely unwilling Treasurer William Langton to the King with this news. L angton announced it on his knees: "My lord King, I am sent on behalf o f my lord the prince, your son, though as God lives, unwillingly, to s eek in his name your licence to promote his knight Piers Gaveston to t he rank of the Count of Ponthieu."

Unsurprisingly, the King was not pleased. Reportedly, he shouted back at Langton, "Who are you who dares to ask such things? As God lives, i f not for the fear of the Lord, and because you said at the outset tha t you undertook this business unwillingly, you would not escape my han ds!" The King then summoned the Prince before him, demanding to know w hy he had sent Langton before him. The Prince replied that he wished f or the King's permission to grant Ponthieu to Gaveston. According to h istorian Ian Mortimer, on hearing these words spoken by the Prince, th e King flew into a rage, exclaiming, "'You wretched son of a whore! D o you want to give away lands now? You who have never gained any? As G od lives, if not for fear of breaking up the Kingdom, I would never le t you enjoy your inheritance!' As he spoke, the King seized hold of th e Prince's head by the hair and tore handfuls of hair out, then threw the Prince to the floor and kicked him repeatedly until he was exhaust ed." [2].

King Edward then summoned the Lords gathering for the Parliament at Ca rlisle, and before them declared Gaveston banished. It appears to hav e been more a punishment of the Prince than of Gaveston - Gaveston's c onduct having been largely irreproachable, the King granted him a pens ion to be enjoyed whilst abroad. He also forced Prince Edward and Pier s to swear an oath never to see one another again without his permissi on. Gaveston then set sail for France, loaded down with many rich gift s from the Prince. But as soon as Edward I died in July 1307, the new King recalled his "Brother Perrot" and endowed him with the County of Cornwall (which had been intended for Thomas of Brotherton, Edward I' s young second son).

[edit] First recallSoon after his recalling, Edward II arranged the marriage of Gaveston to Margaret de Clare, a granddaughter of King Edward I, and sister of the Earl of Gloucester, another friend of both Edward and Gaveston. Th e marriage was held soon after the funeral of the old King: held at Be rkhampstead, the Manor of Queen Margaret, it proved an excuse for the first in a string of feasts and hunts, being followed by similar enter tainments at Kings Langley in Hertfordshire, and a tournament held by the King in honour of Gaveston at Wallingford Castle, which had been p resented to Gaveston by Edward. It proved an embarrassment for many o f the older lords present: Gaveston's young and talented knights easil y won against the older knights fighting for the Earls of Warenne, Her eford, and Arundel. This led to the enmity of these Earls.

When Edward II left the country in 1308 to marry Isabella of France, h e appointed Gaveston Regent in his place, horrifying the Lords; they h ad expected Edward to appoint a family member or an experienced noble . By this appointment of his favorite, Edward demonstrated his faith i n Gaveston, but in the process increased his friend's unpopularity. Ga veston himself did little during his Regency, however; the only thing he did of note in his two weeks of rule was to take a proud attitude t o those who came before him.

Gaveston also proved unpopular with the new queen consort. The two men , who were of approximately the same age, may have had a homosexual re lationship, and Edward's preference for the company of Gaveston over t hat of his wife, whatever the motives, is generally agreed by historia ns as having created early discord in the Royal marriage.

Gaveston's behaviour at the coronation feast is of especial note: he a ppeared in royal purple instead of an Earl's cloth of gold, spent the evening chatting and joking with Edward (who ignored his bride, her br other and her uncles in favour of Gaveston), and was eventually discov ered to have been given all of the gold and jewellery Edward had recei ved as wedding gifts.

[edit] Ireland and returnHaving been forced by his lords to banish Gaveston following the embar rassment of the coronation, Edward instead appointed him Lord Lieutena nt of Ireland, a job which allowed Gaveston much authority, honour an d dignity. Gaveston may have also fought with Sir Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, who was also in Ireland at that time. By the summer of 1309 he had garnered a reputation as a sound military administrator, h aving strengthened Dublin and secured English rule there. After manipu lations by Edward in England, Gaveston left Ireland on 23 July 1309 an d made his way to Stamford via Tintagel, arriving at Parliament in Sta mford in late July.

Unfortunately, Gaveston swiftly made more enemies: the moderate Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, whom Gaveston offended by referring to him as 'Joseph the Jew'; and Thomas Plantagenet, 2nd Earl of Lancas ter, a cousin of the King and the most powerful Lord in the land afte r the King. He swore to destroy Gaveston when, after having already pr ovoked the Earl many times, Gaveston persuaded Edward to dismiss one o f Lancaster's retainers. Led by Lancaster, a powerful group of Earls d emanded that he be banished again. Few stood by the King. Of those wh o did, the Earl of Surrey had sworn eternal hatred of Gaveston. After a failed Scottish campaign in 1310-11, Edward was forced by his Earls to banish Gaveston once again.

[edit] DeathWhen Gaveston returned in 1312, he was faced with hostility. Thomas Pl antagenet, 2nd Earl of Lancaster raised an army against Gaveston and t he King, and on 4 May attacked Newcastle, where Edward and Gaveston we re staying. They were forced to flee by ship to Scarborough Castle, le aving behind all of their money and soldiers, where they were appropri ated by Lancaster. Edward then went south to raise an army, leaving Ga veston in Scarborough. Lancaster immediately brought his army up to th reaten Gaveston and to cut him off from the King. Fearful for his life , Gaveston was forced to surrender to Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pe mbroke, who swore an oath to surrender his lands and titles to protec t Gaveston. However, in Oxfordshire, Gaveston was captured and taken t o Warwick Castle by Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick. He was hel d there for nine days before the Earl of Lancaster arrived; Lancaster then judged, "While he lives, there will be no safe place in the real m of England." Accordingly, on 19 June, Gaveston was taken to Blacklo w Hill (which belonged to the Earl of Lancaster), and killed by two We lshmen, who ran him through with a sword before beheading him as he la y dying on the grass.

He was survived by his wife and a baby daughter, Joan. The Earl of Pem broke, who had sworn to protect him, was mortified by the death, havin g attempted to raise an army to free him, and having even appealed to the University of Oxford for aid. (The University, not known for its m ilitary strength in any case, had not the slightest interest in assist ing either Gaveston or de Valence.) Edward II, on hearing of the murde r, at first reacted with utter rage; later, this would become cold fur y, and a desire to destroy those who had destroyed Gaveston. Ten year s later, Edward II avenged Gaveston's death when he had the Earl of La ncaster killed.

Other informationMuch later, Gaveston would be replaced in the King's affections by Hug h le Despenser.

Gaveston is a major character in Christopher Marlowe's play Edward II.

Gaveston tells the story of his life in the historical novel The Confe ssion of Piers Gaveston by Brandy Purdy.

One of the more flamboyant dining clubs at Oxford University, the Pier s Gaveston Society, is named after him.

General Notes: The death of the Earl (1153)In 1153 Ranulf survived a failed attempt at murder by poison by one of his arch-enemies, William Peverel of Nottingham, when he was guest at Peverel's house. William had poisoned the wine that Ranulf and his men had drunk. Three of Ranulf's men died but the Earl recovered, though he suffered agonizingly, as he had drunk less than his men. William was exiled from England after Henry took the crown as he was accused of poisoning Ranulf and his retainers. The Earl died the same year (due to the poisoning?), on the 16 December 1153. One other notable event of 1153, was that Duke Henry granted Ranulf Staffordshire. After his death, the Earl's son and heir Hugh was allowed to inherit Ranulf's lands as held in 1135, and other honours bestowed upon Ranulf were revoked.

General Notes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Margaret_of_ScotlandSaint Margaret of Scotland (c. 1045 - 16 November 1093), also known as Margaret of Wessex and Queen Margaret of Scotland, was an English princess of the House of Wessex. Born in exile in Hungary, she was the sister of Edgar Ζtheling, the short-ruling and uncrowned Anglo-Saxon King of England. Margaret and her family returned to England in 1057, but fled to the Kingdom of Scotland following the Norman conquest of England of 1066. Around 1070 Margaret married Malcolm III of Scotland, becoming his queen consort. She was a pious woman, and among many charitable works she established a ferry across the Firth of Forth for pilgrims travelling to Dunfermline Abbey, which gave the towns of South Queensferry and North Queensferry their names. Margaret was the mother of three kings of Scotland and a queen consort of England. According to the Life of Saint Margaret, attributed to Turgot of Durham, she died at Edinburgh Castle in 1093, just days after receiving the news of her husband's death in battle. In 1250 she was canonised by Pope Innocent IV, and her remains were reinterred in a shrine at Dunfermline Abbey. Her relics were dispersed after the Scottish Reformation and subsequently lost.
